Springtime can bring a sense of potential and renewal. As the days grow longer, we may feel more energetic and motivated to make a “fresh start.” Spring cleaning is not just for our homes, but it can also be beneficial for our mental health. We can declutter, reorganize, & rejuvenate our bodies, minds, & souls and enhance our overall well-being!

Here are some tips to help you get started:

Declutter: Take inventory of the areas in your life which are holding you back, and begin taking small steps to let go of them. Maybe it’s a bad habit, an unhealthy relationship, or negative thoughts. Symbolically “pack them up” so you can move them out of your mental, emotional, and physical spaces. This will free up room for the areas that can enhance your life.

Reorganize: Along with de-cluttering, you can re-organize your mental, emotional, and physical spaces. Examine what is important to you and what lifts you up. Is it your family, relationships, physical/mental health, or hobbies? Prioritize these areas. Showcase them. Make time for them.  Taking these small actions each day will remind you of their value and the joy they bring to you. 

Rejuvenate: Create a self-care routine that works for you. This includes things like talking to a friend, spending time outdoors, listening to music, exercising, and eating lunch. Even taking a few minutes each day can help you recharge, rejuvenate, and build resilience against everyday stress.
